Hey guys over the past 2 days I installed my apexi FMIC and upgraded radiator. I also installed the AC condensor in the only spot left but I don't know if it will do any good there. I had to lay the damn thing absolutely flat under the the rad and IC. I thought I remembered people saying that they just install it at an angle with the rad(<) but that just was not possible with my setup. There was no room for that. It will get a small amount of air flow there and I am planning on making a duct for it but am not very confident that My AC will even be decent after this. Does anyone have a similar setup? Anyone have the apexi and still keep AC. I think the problem is that the apexi isn't a true front mount, it sits back a few inches from the front and this causes less room for the ac condensor behind it. Any thoughts? Thanks

Yeah it was a PITA to put back in but I like AC...Hopefully it will work and I didn't do all that for nothing. I'm even considering making some type of sprayer for it out of my window washer spritzers...I don't use them.

I actually just finished doing a conversion on my old GReddy FMIC which mounted the same way. I moved the IC to the front brace right behind the fiberglass bumper. Some cutting is required to make it fit. Of course you're going to have to fabricate some new IC piping, but now I have a true front mount with gobs of space behind the IC & my condenser is now standing up vertically in front of my radiator as it should be.

MY IC piping will be custom anyway but I actually like the location the IC is in now...Plus it was a bitch to get it mounted straight

The apexi is so big there is no way to get it any further up like how you did it. The endtanks are already against the front frame and that was after cutting a few inches off with a grinder.
